Parting Tweet: Barbara Walters Has Had Many Lovers

Argh, you guys, how gross is the word “lover”? I suppose if it’s coming from Barbara Walters it’s okay to say — because pretty much anything said in that bizarre Boston accent is instantly amazing — but generally, the grossest word.

Evidently, Babs was asked about the number of sexual partners she’s had at a panel discussion at Manhattan’s 92nd Street Y, and she handled the matter deftly. It’s like that new Anna Faris movie What’s Your Number, except not offensive!

Counting sexual partners is both a good way to get to sleep and a good way to wake up.
